Loving my Volunteer work!

Hello evryone!!

This will have to be a brief update because I only have a few minutes at the internet cafe in the closest town to the village (which isn't so close)!!
As of today I have completed a collection of "recycled" accessories (they are amazing) along with throw pillows, bracelets, robes and bedpreads!! The organization that I am working with is called RTU (reaching the unreached) and it is truly a wonderful socially comitted community that does so much to help the poor and underprivlaged!!!! The people have been so warm and open...and the orphans...ugh, so cute!!! They don't see many westerner's and love to see me and shake my hand, etc! And the Artisians are really excited and open to be working on all of my design ideas...it's so great!!
The living accomadations are sweet...but very basic. I don't have a shower and have to pour cold water over me with a bucket and pitcher!!! Thankfully I have a western toilet! And the mess hall you sit on the floor to eat and everyone uses the same round platters for their food and just rinses them with water (luckily I am taking doxycyclone for anti-malaria, so am counting on that to kill off any funky bacterial germs). The food has been my biggest challenge, but they are going to start to make me eggs for breakfast at least. It is so remote, they can't even get yogurt or museli or papaya, etc.
My day begins at a 6:30 yoga session with Raghu (he is my chaperone from the main fair trade organization I am with), then bkfst at 8am, and in the workshops by 8:30am!!
We brake for luch around 12:30-1:30, then finish around 6pm, have dinner 7:30pm and in bed around 9ish!!!
Gotta run...will hopefully be back in 3 days to blog again!!
Namaste,
Dayna
